Both games will probably run just fine since they're not demanding games. You just may have to turn some settings down to play at good framerates.

TF2 is not a problem at all @ 1920x1080. CS Go I am not sure on since I've never tried it. I do know Smite ran almost flawless details maxed and WoT did with 90% of the details turned down @ 1920x1080. I got bored one day and decided to try and compare the 4600 to the amd 7770 I have.... lol
